After Lu Shang finished speaking, he ignored Wang Chong and went straight in to find Su Xiaolan.

The relationship between the two looks pretty good now, and there are a few servants following Lu Shang. Under Lu Shang's instructions, several servants began to help pack up their things.

One day, Wang Chong finally got busy, so he took the people in the store out for dinner.

This was originally agreed, and today is a celebration of opening a store. In addition to a few people in the store, Wang Chong also invited Lu Niucheng.

After all, this store was mainly opened by Lu Niu Chengcai.

In addition, there are some partners and some well-known figures nearby. These people are somewhat helpful in business, so Wang Chong of course has to deal with them well.

When they went out, Su Xiaolan and Zhou Cui went back to change their clothes. Wang Chong stared at Lu Shang and said, "Miss Lu, we're going to have a meal. Where will you go later?"

This means that you won’t take Lu Shang to have dinner together, which made Lu Shang stunned. I didn’t expect Wang Chong to say that.

He said so, normal people will definitely turn around and leave.

But Lu Shang is not such a person, so she refused to leave.

"Hmph, Xiaolan and I agreed to you, I want you to take care of it." Lu Shang said disdainfully.

"Oh, right, then go, Mr. Lu Niucheng will go too."

Wang Chong's tone was like giving alms, which made Lu Shang very angry.

"Su San, do you have any opinions on me?"

"Opinion? Miss Lu, do you have any objections to me? At that time, I deliberately did not rent it to my shop, which is our common people. You are deliberately making things difficult for me."

"I…………"

Lu Shang found that he was really inappropriate and could only say angrily: "I was deliberately joking with you, who told you to do this before."

"I've lived like this?"

Wang Chong thought about it again and thought about Lu Shang's request to go out, and suddenly realized it.

"So that's it. I really didn't like it at the beginning. I didn't joke with you. I didn't expect that something so far away would you remember. You really were..." Wang Chong shook his head speechless.

Lu Shang felt embarrassed because it made him look a little petty.

Wang Chong chuckled and said, "Actually, I was just joking with you. Your brother and I have told you to come and have dinner together."

"Seriously?" Lu Shang's eyes lit up, and then she became a little angry again. So this guy just deliberately tricked her?

What’s even more annoying is that my younger brother didn’t call her!

No matter what, Lu Shang was not so angry after saying it, but he still had to take good care of his face. He snorted coldly and ignored Wang Chong. She wanted Wang Chong to know how powerful he ignored him.

Su Xiaolan came out at this time and the group went to the restaurant.

Tonight's banquet was very successful, and many people came to support it.

On the one hand, Wang Chong has a very high prestige now. Everyone knows that Wang Chong solved the problem of water shortage in this place. In terms of prestige, Wang Chong is now the number one person under the city lord.

It can be foreseen that with the well water and canals of each household, the crop yield will increase year by year.

On the other hand, it is naturally because of Wang Chong's current identity.

The city moat is the person who is directly responsible to the city lord

As the saying goes, the emperor is far away. Sometimes the emperor's words in this place are not as useful as the city lord's words. Therefore, as a city embassy, ​​you can imagine how powerful this amount is.

………………………………………

For the next time, Wang Chong was dealing with the matter in the rice shop.

First of all, there are multiple purchasing channels.

Thanks to his connections and reputation in various villages before, everyone now likes to give him rice.

Wang Chong is not the kind of black-hearted vendor, he always collects rice according to the market conditions.

The second is sales channels.

In addition to selling rice in a shop, Wang Chong also opened up wholesale channels.

Because it has a large quantity, it can be sold to its peers at a cheaper price. Although it makes less money, at least it does not have to accumulate a lot of rice.

After all, everyone who sells rice knows that rice cannot be stored for too long, otherwise it will become chrysanthemum. Once the taste changes, it will not be sold at the price.

A month later, Lu Bai came back.

Surprisingly, the first thing he did when he came back was to find Wang Chong.

"Hahaha, Su San, you are really a talent, a talent..."

After Wang Chong was taken to the city lord's mansion, Lu Bai laughed and praised Wang Chong.

"Master Lord, you are..." Wang Chong was a little confused, not knowing what good things Lu Bai had encountered.

"Su San, your method of digging canals is very good. I went to the neighboring city. The city lord there decided to do this after hearing my plan. Now the news has reached the imperial capital. The emperor issued an edict saying that you have made great contributions to the people and have made great contributions to you."

"Deputy City Lord!" Wang Chong was stunned.

But soon, he frowned.

Wang Chong is not a fool. Lu Bai has not abdicated yet at such an old age. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that he wants to pass it on to his son!

And now that he is the deputy city lord, wouldn’t he compete with his son?

Wang Chong didn't know what the emperor meant, but if he was the emperor, when it was difficult to make Lu Bai abdicate clearly, he would naturally find a supported talent to come out and compete with Lu Bai.

On the surface, this was a commendation to him, but in fact, it was to make him compete for the position of city lord.

After all, Lu Bai is old, and as soon as Lu Bai falls, his deputy city lord will naturally become the city lord!

"Mr. City Lord, I'm just a poor man. How can He De be the deputy city lord? Forget it."

Wang Chong was not afraid, but worried about Su Xiaolan.

The position of the city lord is the three evil positions, which is easy to defeat the family, so of course he directly refused.

Lu Bai was even more satisfied with Wang Chong.

When he first heard the priest’s reward, he also had a murderous intention to kill Wang Chong. No matter how grateful he was to Wang Chong, he would not let Wang Chong sit in his position.

But when he came back, he thought of his daughter.

Didn’t my daughter want to get close to Su San?

In his opinion, the reason why Su San rejected his daughter was entirely because of inferiority.

He is a poor peasant, no matter how smart he is, he is still a poor peasant. Why should he marry his own daughter?

So he was inferior. When his daughter extended an olive branch, Su San refused.

It can also be said that he is smart because he knows that he is advancing and retreating.

If he really dared to accept his daughter, he would definitely find a way to suppress him and let him know at least.

Now, Wang Chong has been named deputy city lord, and he is no longer a poor peasant. If his daughter follows him, his Lu family's power will not only not exploit it, but will instead go to the next level!

Just imagine, if Su San supports his son as the deputy city lord, who would say no with Su San’s current prestige?

Even if there are, there will definitely not be many.

Therefore, after understanding this level, Lu Bai not only did not have the intention to kill Wang Chong, but he was also very happy. At least, he felt that his relationship with Wang Chong is still quite good at the moment.

Of course, the plan for the present is to get your daughter to marry Su San.

He felt that good things should not be too hard, so he talked about matchmaking during this period.

"Su San, you are so modest. I think it's pretty good for you to sit in the position of Deputy City Lord. If you have this ability, I'm optimistic about you."

Wang Chong was stunned. Lu Bai actually agreed. Isn’t this agreeing to steal his rights? He was a little confused about Lu Bai’s operation.

"Master Lord, I really can't do it." Wang Chong refused.

"Su San, if you refuse again, you will disobey the emperor's decree. Can you afford it?"

Lu Bai shouted majesticly.

Well, I can't run away.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Baiyu said earnestly: "Don't worry, the position of Deputy City Lord is not that stressful. I will teach you well. Okay, let's not say this anymore. I heard that you opened a rice shop?"

"good."

"You don't have to worry about these little fights. If you have time to spend more time with Lu Shang, this child is not convinced by anyone, and he says he is the most convinced by you."

Lu Bai was very confident. With his daughter's beauty and charm, he didn't know how many young talents pursued him, so he didn't believe that Wang Chong could reject Lu Shang.

Now he had already said it out. With Wang Chong's intelligence, he believed that Wang Chong could understand what he meant.

Wang Chong really understood it, and there were storm waves in his heart.

Sure enough, no matter how good people do, they cannot hide the light of gold.

Isn’t this what the city lord meant was to ask him to chase Lu Shang?

Alas, what should I do?

To be honest, he also admires Lu Shang very much. He has a straightforward personality and does not delay his work. His only disadvantage is that the young lady has a big temper and is quite proud of her.
To be continued...
